Filibuster Cartoons

In the absence of any high-profile candidates, a lot of kooky characters have recently expressed an interest in running to be the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
For example, we have Ashley McIssac, a gay fiddle player from Nova Scotia who is well-known for his love of swearing, kilts, crack, and uh… urine. Now he figures he can be Prime Minister.
Also showing an interest is David Orchard, who is this weird socialist activist with an extraordinarily intense pathological hatred of the United States and free trade. Orchard is what they call an “entryist,” namely a guy who tries to take control of things he should not be taking control of. He repeatedly tried to get elected leader of the old Progressive Conservative Party, for example.
